The newest Rotary Club on the Hibiscus Coast, the Satellite Club of Orewa-Millwater, has bragging rights after taking part for the first time in the local Rotarians’ annual potato growing competition, on December 5, and coming away with a win.

The competition has been run for many years and this year had around 40 entries.

Participants are given two seed potatoes and the winner is the club that grows the heaviest two spuds.

Satellite club secretary Brian Mullan won with a total weight of 1.56kg. Potatoes totalling 27kg, from all competitors, were donated to the Salvation Army.
